Ally's first day of school was Tuesday. She has a full schedule this year, which means school starts at 7:40 a.m. instead of 8:30 a.m. She gets out at 3:30 p.m., but she has Cross Country practice every weekday at the school beginning at 4 p.m. She had a fit because a freshman showed up wearing the same shirt, so Ally borrowed a camisole from someone, unbuttoned the shirt, and wore it as a jacket with the sleeves rolled down so it wouldn't look the same. God forbid you be wearing the same shirt as someone else! Oh, and she already forgot some books, and we had to drive all the way back to the school at 6 p.m., fortunately the books were still laying there on the picnic table, all by their lonesome.
Since Chris is off mid-week, he's been taking her to school, and I (so far) have been getting up and making a good breakfast for everyone, including Amy since she has classes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. That's my goal -- don't know if it will keep up. I don't have to be at work until 9 a.m., so when Chris and Ally leave at 7 a.m., I usually sleep for another hour. Ally homeschools on Monday and Friday, so that's only our schedule for Tuesday through Wednesday, but she still has practice on Mondays and Fridays, then meets on the weekends. What I'm trying to say is we are trying to get on something of a schedule, but it's ever changing!
Amy backed into a car at the mall a few days ago. Didn't do much to our van, it already had some scratches on the bumper, but it did some damage to the driver rear side of the lady's car. Amy finally found the insurance card in the glove compartment and didn't get much info from the lady, or even know what kind of car it was. She was all flustered, but I did manage to tell her to get the lady's name and phone number. I called our insurance company to let them know. The said the info was fine. Amy said there was some scratches and a possible bend or dent on the bumper of the other car.
Tonight I start co-teaching a lady's Bible study called, "Becoming a Woman of Prayer." It is about 10 weeks, every Wednesday evening. Looking forward to it -- can always use help in that area! One of the neatest things from the first lesson is how the purpose of prayer should always be that God would be glorified. Through praise (of course) and also when we are asking for healings, health, needs, etc. -- it should be not for our selfish reasons, but so that God will be glorified (John 14:13). Food for thought.
